Also, probably very few people will find this interesting, but the latest campaign in not another D&D podcast lampoons this kind of social media influencer with a Social Media Warlock (derives her power from her social media following.)

@futurebird

As someone with a large following, do you have any recommendations for dealing with notifications?

I've heard several times that creators that seem to be pretty good have trouble dealing with all the replies on Mastodon, specifically.

@meganmariehart

@futurebird these are great suggestions of better solutions! Your analysis is spot on.

As a kid, we had police come to our summer camps with their dog to talk to us and tell us if we see something, say something for people acting suspicious in the neighborhood. Kids have to hear other adults explain to them the nuances, or they might blindly trust the "good cop" authority, and not recognize their own biases.

@futurebird I almost called the police once. I was anxious and wanted to visit a public park. There were people different than me playing soccer and hanging out. I had heard that some cars were broken into. I noticed a guy walk up to my car and look in the windows. He seemed to be looking in other cars. I think he clocked me and walked back to the group. I drove away. I thought about calling but:
* looking in cars is not a crime
* I was afraid, my judgement was cloudy
* I don't trust the police.

@futurebird Thank you for watching this and telling us.

@cmconseils sweet! In that case...

The juxtaposition version doesn't appear until sometime later. The first version I could find was in this time capsule of dank memes: https://imgur.com/gallery/images-of-note-moopsy-Rn0wbSL

@cmconseils lol can I *please* steal this

@alice I think a lot of guys could also benefit from reading your "sucker punch" post about open registration and moderation. It def opened my eyes to how others are treated on here and elsewhere...

@vkc

@eb me neither. I read the blog post

@eb I am not sure what gyrovague is, but ublock origin blocks it as part of HaGeZi - multi ultimate mini blocklist. Not sure why.

Also not sure what gyrovague said but since the website is blocked and ddg is not helpful I'm still in the dark unfortunately...

@eb I am out of the loop on all this gyrovague doxxing and archive.today, who are these people and what is going on?

@alexwild

@fortunos @futurebird pretty funny if you can pull it off. Can destroy some kids though.

@wavesculptor @futurebird what does change in brain states mean in this context?

@MintSpies @AbramKedge @futurebird when I was taking cartography classes our teacher would put up student work on the board but with the names removed and we would discuss it together. We didn't know if it was folks in our class or previous years and it was really helpful especially when you saw your own work up there and other people were kindly pointing out their suggestions.

@mansr @futurebird my highschool programming class was C++ based, but it was a joke. It was paint by numbers and we didn't learn programming.

The main thing I learned in that class was that Gmail existed and my classmates sent me an invitation to use it. Because he was checking his email during class time.

@ligasser @futurebird i'm interested, but very skeptical as well. Before the LLM craze, I was working through the CS50 Intro to CS class that Harvard offers online for free through OpenCourseWare. Even back then, they offered a rubber duck debugging program that you could type your questions to. And back then, I don't think it did anything except quack. But today, I would be curious what it does because I suspect they would try to use LLMs.

@futurebird One way I might play is have all the kids stand on a line they can't get off of. One volunteer can move freely, blindfolded, and has to listen to the group to find the treasure (usually a pool noodle on the ground).

During the game/debrief they'll almost always figure out that talking over each other doesn't work, and come up with a way to have one voice (often electing a leader).

This does not address the CS aspect of your challenge, but I hope it was helpful / interesting. (3/3)

@futurebird When we're doing something together as a group, the group has one voice. Sometimes it's my voice if I'm giving instructions. Sometimes it is your voice if you're sharing. It feels good when you have the respect of the group. We are not in One Voice all the time, but when we are, itis respectful and helpful to wait until the person before you is finished talking.

One group development game I play to reinforce this is called Buried Treasure. (It probably goes by many names). (2 /)
